Why only men start to go bald? It's testosterone I know. But not all men go bald some have hair throughout. Is it the sexual habits like Porn, masturbation etc that varies when it comes to hair loss. If it's genetic, how did my father or my grandfather or his father and grandfather started loosing hair. There has to be a cause for the start. What's the history?

Good question. Hair loss is a complex issue with genetic, environmental, diet, lifestyle etc playing a part. It is a trait like hairy chest, bat ears, long limbs etc which are part of an individual's constitution. Bald head does not signify anything though it is common in older men. Some women also go bald. There is no direct relation to hormonal levels of testosterone etc.
